In the original story "The Real Princess" a prince was seeking a real princess, but could never find one. When suddenly a princess showed up at his door and claimed to be a real princess. The queen placed 3 peas under 20 mattresses, because she felt if the princess could feel the peas she was truly a real princess. When I revise the story I am going to have the princess show up at a festival that the prince has threw seeking his "Real Princess." I'm than going to have the queen place 3 red hot peppers under one sombrero, and the 3 red hot peppers can only be found by a "real spanish princess." Than she'll place 5 sombreros on a table and have the princess choose the sombrero she thinks has the 3 red hot peppers under it. If the princess does not find them it means she will not marry the prince. The reason for the red hot peppers and sombreros is because I will be changing my culture from Danish to Spanish.
The motif used in the story was the 3 peas. They were placed under the 20 mattresses than they were kept in the cabinet of curiosities where they were still to be used. My motif will be the 3 red hot peppers. At the festival they will be placed under one of the 5 sombreros, and each time a princess approaches the table too prove she is truly a "Real Princess" the queen will use them.

I like how you are thinking with this. How will the discovery of the red hot peppers decide if she is a princess? Could they be special extra hot peppers and only a true Spanish princess knows the difference? You are going in the right direction with this and I cannot wait to see how you are developing it into your story.
